Messy May is for you, exactly as you are right now.
For one month, you are challenged to create daily-ish*.
That's right, daily-ish*.
This is a free challenge where above all, it's totally okay if you miss a day.
It's a challenge where if you complete even one out of the 31 challenges, we'll be celebrating.
This is a challenge for the mess makers and recovering perfectionists. It's for those who miss their creative practice, want to jump start it, or are absolutely rocking one.
Each day for the month of May, a different artist shares a prompt for you to create from as well as their interpretation of it.
*WHY DAILY-ISH?
More diaries have been killed by the idea that a diary must be written in daily than by any other single thing. Why? It feels like homework.
– Alexandra Johnson in Leaving a Trace
HERE ARE THREE WAYS TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MONTH:
1. Bring your messy self – As imperfect as you are and as glorious as you are. Your whole-ass messy self. Remember that “get messy” is an invitation.
2. Take what YOU need – No such thing as being behind
3. More than zero is enough – All art that you create is enough.
We call ourselves Messians. We’ve held solo and group gallery shows, published books, been in magazines and actual newspapers, created online art schools (and art communities of our own), been featured by Instagram, led retreats, sold our art, collaborated with other artists, quit our job for art, and taught art live.
Mainly, we’ve created a LOT of art.
Zero expectations. Zero pressure. All the fun.
